+## usage
+
+Here are descriptions of all the supported parameters to the `inline`
+directive:
+
+* `pages` - A [[PageSpec]] of the pages to inline.
+* `show` - Specify the maximum number of matching pages to inline.
+ Default is 10, unless archiving, when the default is to show all.
+ Set to 0 to show all matching pages.
+* `skip` - Specify a number of pages to skip displaying. Can be useful
+ to produce a feed that only shows archived pages.
+* `rss` - controls generation of an rss feed. On by default if the wiki is
+ configured to use rss feeds, set to "no" to disable.
+* `atom` - controls generation of an atom feed. On by default if the wiki is
+ configured to use atom feeds, set to "no" to disable.
+* `feeds` - controls generation of all types of feeds. Set to "no" to
+ disable generating any feeds.
+* `postform` - Set to "yes" to enables a form to post new pages to a [[blog]].
+* `postformtext` - Set to specify text that is displayed in a postform.
+* `rootpage` - Also enables a form to post new pages to a [[blog]], and
+ allows specifying of a page that is used as the parent page for new pages.
+* `archive` - If set to "yes", only list page titles and some metadata, not
+ full controls.
+* `quick` - Build archives in quick mode, without reading page contents for
+ metadata. By default, this also turns off generation of any feeds.
+* `template` - Specifies the template to fill out to display each inlined
+ page. By default the `inlinepage` template is used, while
+ the `archivepage` template is used for archives. Set this parameter to
+ use some other, custom template, such as the `titlepage` template that
+ only shows post titles. Note that you should still set `archive=yes` if
+ your custom template does not include the page content.
+* `raw` - Rather than the default behavior of creating a [[blog]],
+ if raw is set to "yes", the page will be included raw, without additional
+ markup around it, as if it were a literal part of the source of the
+ inlining page.
+* `description` - Sets the description of the rss feed if one is generated.
+ Defaults to the name of the wiki.
+* `actions` - If set to "yes" add links to the bottom of the inlined pages
+ for editing and discussion (if they would be shown at the top of the page
+ itself).
+* `sort` - Controls how inlined pages are sorted. The default, "age" is to
+ sort newest created pages first. Setting it to "title" will sort pages by
+ title, and "mtime" sorts most recently modified pages first.
+* `reverse` - If set to "yes", causes the sort order to be reversed.
+* `feedpages` - A [[PageSpec]] of inlined pages to include in the rss/atom
+ feeds. The default is the same as the `pages` value above, and only pages
+ matches by that value are included, but some of those can be excluded by
+ specifying a tighter [[PageSpec]] here.
+* `feedshow` - Specify the maximum number of matching pages to include in
+ the rss/atom feeds. The default is the same as the `show` value above.
+* `feedonly` - Only generate the feed, do not display the pages inline on
+ the page.
+* `timeformat` - Use this to specify how to display the time or date for pages
+ in the blog. The format string is passed to the strftime(3) function.
